A few months ago, series that telecast in the 5-7.30 p.m. slot -- "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein", "Saath Nibhaana Saathiya" , "Suhani Si Ek Ladki", "Mohi" and "Mere Angne Mein" -- were extended and now they are telecast on Sundays as well.

Not just Star Plus, recently Zee TV's "Kumkum Bhagya", "Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani", "Jamai Raja", "Qubool Hai" and other popular shows that used to be telecast five days a week, also were extended and now air from Monday to Saturday.

Sony TV has also changed the schedule of some of its current shows. Some of the popular series that aired for half an hour, have now been extended to 45 minutes. "Sankat Mochan Mahabali Hanuman", "Suryaputra Karn", "Parvarrish - Season 2" and a few others now run for another 15 minutes daily.
